This document studies street harassment in Queretaro, Mexico. We characterize and determine its prevalence and the age at which adolescents begin to receive it and to exercise it. A mixed methods research was conducted using 13 focus groups and 528 questionnaires. Street harassment was characterized by the level of proximity and its associated intentions. Half (49.8%) of the adolescents had experienced harassment at an average age of 11.2 years. However, women were harassed 2.65 times more often than men. The findings may provide guidelines for social workers' efforts to counteract this form of gender violence.
